I'm sure someone did this project as a highschool or college video project. I love that it's online... and even more so I love that after looking for some decent videos on vinyl record pressings that I came across it.
SaveVinyl.co.uk relaunched, and requested some vinyl related content to share on there. My first thought of course was to hit Youtube and see what might come up.
This video is one of those that needs to see the light of day... or atleast the screens of our computers. Youtube video
Ron looks so young in the video... he's alot older now and still mastering records over at National Sound Enterprises. If you play Detroit techno and have played records with the letters NSC etched into it... you've played music that has been mastered by Ron. In fact most of the records that have come out of Detroit have been mastered by him.
And as for pressing vinyl. I love how these guys also talked to Mike at Archer Record Pressing. From the 60's right up to today, so many big techno records had their first pressings done on at Archer. I don't have a bunch of records handy, but you can always tell an Archer pressing... most of the time the labels didn't have alot of art or color to them... and the vinyl was always rugged. I've had some records go through hell and back... most likely they were pressed at Archer...
Both of these guys are some of the un sung heros of the techno music scene. Some people think of Detroit as being all dark clubs or decaying cities... Detroit is more then that. The city is full of people who help create the music we've come to appreciate.
Seems like such a simple idea.... just capturing the people and places where Detroit techno is manufactured. I'm sure at the time they weren't imagining it being hosted on the internet... but thanks to them, we can all take a moment and put some faces and locations to the music.
People like Ron Murphy and Mike Archer who help birth the music into a medium that we all have consumed it on.... Long live Vinyl and the hard work that these guys have done to keep it alive.

I find it really interesting that so much techno came out of one of our largest manufacturing cities.

Motown plus mechanical rhythms of machines printing out car after car... I think I'd make techno too at some point.

I just did some records at Archer (not mastered by them though)... better than United.. but still not as sexy as some of those thick UK records.

i may be getting myself in some trouble here............but, whats the connection between old motown records and techno? aside from the state of michigan.
i mean, i suppose one could argue that all music has influence on all the music that comes after it, but i dont see this connection at all
